Description
Bok choy, also known as Brassica Chinese, is actually classified as a cabbage. However, bok choy bears little resemblance to European cabbages found in western supermarkets or even Napa Cabbages. On the contrary, its white stalks resemble celery without the stringiness, while the dark green, crinkly leaves found in common varieties is more akin to Romaine lettuce. No matter the appearance, you can guarantee to find this delicious vegetable in many Asian dishes.
